#0343E3

General Information about Science Blue

The color #0343E3, also known as Science Blue, is a vibrant and intense shade of blue that evokes feelings of energy, intelligence, and creativity. It is often associated with the scientific field, representing innovation, discovery, and exploration. This color belongs to the blue color family, which is typically linked to feelings of calmness, trust, and stability. Science Blue, however, has a more energetic and dynamic quality compared to other, more subdued shades of blue. In color theory, it is considered a cool color, and it can be used effectively in various design applications to create visually stimulating and engaging experiences. Its bold nature makes it suitable for accentuating key elements or creating a focal point in a design composition.

The hex color #0343E3, also known as Science Blue, presents some accessibility challenges due to its relatively low luminance. When used as text, it may be difficult for users with visual impairments to read, especially against a dark background. To ensure accessibility, it's crucial to use a high contrast ratio between the text and background colors. A light background, such as white or a very pale yellow, would be more suitable. In terms of website design, avoid using this color for essential interactive elements unless paired with sufficient contrast. Consider using tools that evaluate color contrast ratios according to WCAG guidelines to ensure compliance with accessibility standards. When used in large graphic elements or illustrations, the impact is less severe, but clear visual cues and alternative information channels should still be provided for users who may have difficulty distinguishing the color.
